ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Nissan is a very common problem. And what you want to do about it depends upon various factors. If perhaps you want to know what you have to do about this then continue reading.
Listed here are the main factors to consider when making a decision whether to have it drained:

1. What level of Petrol did you put in the Nissan, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of the Nissan Primera dCi is normally around 62 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Petrol, as little as 3.1 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Primera dCi will in most situations not be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that an amount under 3.1 litres (about 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is quite often able to be sufficiently diluted by totally filling up the remainder of the tank with the right fuel.
      It's very rare to come across a car or truck going through issues because of lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is very infrequent - definitely not impossible to find. There are a number of cars that won't stand any amount of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Petrol in the Nissan (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has proven that as many drivers get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever deciding upon whether or not to risk it and just simply fill it up consider that it is very much like gambling your car on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 6.2 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Primera dCi ought to straightaway be drained seeing that your likelihood of succeeding with that level of contamination is very likely below one in fifty - really big odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Nissan and drove it: Have you observed any performance troubles after putting the bad fuel in your Primera dCi? In that case, have it removed no matter the volume of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Continually running an automobile that is currently starting to suffer from the effects of fuel contamination can just lead to even more harm affecting the fuel system components.
3. Are you interested in reassurance?
   Then get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is invariably a certain level of risk connected to running a Diesel engine on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Likely implications of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, reduced power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and so on. These are a few of the most common Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and in the event that you observe any of them cease driving and have it drained right away.
